Muskrats have gnawed through the transducer cable on five boats at the end of my peninsula. I've purchased a new transducer cable but am reluctant to install it without protection. Is there anyone who sells a wiremesh "sleeve" than can be slid over a transducer cable to protect it from muskrats? Has anyone tried other solutions?

Lake Murray, in the center of SC, has been lowered 15' so that a $275M backup dam can be constructed...making it tough for muskrats to find a home. A family of muskrats have taken up residence in the back of my next door neighbor's pontoon boat and are reproducing like rabbits.
